BEATEN BY RAILROADERs.

A man named Frank Peckstein, a ped
dler with team, formerly of this place,
while on the road from Great Falls, about
half way last Sunday night was set upon
by eight men supposed to belong to the
railroad camps in that vicinity who robbed
and maltreated him. He was beaten in a
most shameful manner and suffered such
injuries that he was unable to reach here
until to-day to make a complaint. He re-
turned to the scene of the trouble this
evening accompanied by the Sheriff. He
thinks he knows their " whereabouts and can
identity all of them.

TIE LAND LEAGUE.

It Has Been Proclaimed and Creates
Considerable Excitement Across the
Seas.
LONDON, August 19.-The prociaiming
of the League was the subject Of an excited
discussion in the lobbies of Parliament
this morning. Gladstone asserts that the
overnment is unjust and imprudent
in proc!aiming the League. The
Parnel.ites say that the Government
wishes to create trouble and ortrages in
Ireland during the coming winter; that
the proclamation will force the EXTREMIST
measures of the League to the front; that
the Government will shortly bitterly rs-
pent their actions. All important docu.
ments of the League have been removed
from headquarters in Dublin
THE PAIL MALL GAZETTE
vigorously attacks the Government party
for adopting in the Commons last evening
the Earl of Cadagon's amendment to the
Irish Land bill, relating to town parks.
The Gazette urges the Liberals to revolt
against the Government Irish policy in the
Commons, to obstruct the passage Of tho
supply measures, and thus force q dissolu.
ton.
BALFOuR, CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND,
announced in the Commons this afternoon
that the Government had proclaimed the
Irish National League. He said the League
was proclaimed as q dangerous associa-
tion under Section 6 OF the Irish Crimes
act. The amendment to the bill was re-

THE EPowER CONFERRED UPON THEM
by act OF the statute to prohibit and sup
press the League. Continuing. Balfour
said: There are two sub-heads of the
sixth section OF the act mentioned in tho
proclamation, which declares as follows:
Whereas, We are satisfied there exists in
Ireland an association known as tho Irish
National League, which. in parts OF Ire
land, promotes and incites acts of vio-
lence 2 nd intimidation A voice. "lt'sa
lie! No branch Of the League is engaged in
such work!O The subject was then
dropped, and the House went into COM
mittee on the land allotment bill.
AFTER BALFouR's REMARKS
Sexton asked whether the sole ground for
the proclamation was that the League 10
simply an association tending to interfere
with the law. Balfour, in reply, read tho
terms OF the proclamation. Harrington
asked whether Baifour was aware that the
branches Of the League were engaged in
registration work; whether he knew that
the League was the only association op-
posed to the Conservatives work. and
whether the proclamation was intended to
paralyze the efforts OF the League to assist
the Conservatives on the new register.
Balfour replied that no branch OF the
League confined to registration would bs
impeded in it's work.
WITHDRAWN FROM THE PARTY.
LONDON, August 19.-Chamberlain and
T. w. Russell have withdrawn from tho

BIRMINGHAM, August 2O.-In speech TO-
night Joseph Chamberlain, referring to the
Crimes bill. regretted that such a bill was
necessary, but the act was, in bis judg-
ment, intended to protect ''our Irish fel-
low subjects" Chamberlain regretted that
the government had proclaimed the
League. He thinks they were mistaken,
though he and others, who acted with him,
are precluded from condemning the procla-
nation in strong language. He dwelt upon
the absencs of crime in most of the dis
trictr of Ireland, and thought the other
clauses OF the Coercion bill would be
QUITE INSUFFICIENT
to enable the Government to deal with iso-
lated cases. II am afraid" he said "that
the course the Government has pursued
will land them in the gravest difficulties
and danger" He quoted an Irish landlord
who had asked him to use his influence to
pre- vent the proclamation, and who had
said that left alone the league WAS rapidly
becoming u laughing stock and sinking into
oblivion, butif the Government proclaimed
it, it would revive and get renewed SUBJ
scriptions. Regarding the report that he had
resigned his connection with the dissident
party. chamberlain said: The statement
is entirely unauthorized and without
shadow of foundation. It is true thatI DIFF
iered from the Government on this one
point, but am prepared to support their
general policy SO far as in my judgment it
tends to maintain the Union.'
REFERRING TO THE RECENT ELECTORS
and remarks made that the country is
returning it's loyalty to Gladstone
Chamberlain said the country never
wavered in it's loyalty to Mr.. Gladstone,
It thought him grievously mistaken but
has not lost it's sense of gratitude for his
past services. It will be happy for all
when Mr.. Gladstone enables US to range
ourselves on his side. Continuing, Cham
berlain, complained that the recent elec-
tions were fought under false colors. The
Gladstones candidates, he said, adopted
radical Unionists principles and only gained
majorities by throwing over board alto
gether the Gladstones policy, composed
in two great bills. In conclusion, Cham
berlain emphasized the necessity of main
tanning the Unionist principles to which
they had given adhesion.

A Long Lost Crew.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 22.-In+erviews
with the officers of the bark Pearl. which
has arrived from Fox Islands, Alaska,
elicits the information that there is prob
ebility that in Siberia there are several of
the crew of the whaling bark Napoleon,
which was wrecked about two years ago
off the Siberian coast. There were two
boats crews that were never heard from
again after the wreck, among the list being
the first and third mates. A piece of wood
was secured by the Pearl from the natives
on which we're carved initials which are
supposed to be those OF J. B. Vim
cent, of Martha's Vineyard, Massa-
chusetts, who was one of the Napoleon's
crew. Other letters ard characters
under date this year seemed to indicate
the mans whereabouts to be at
village near Cape Nauarine, Siberia. Capt.
Healy of the Revenue Cutter Bear will
endeavor to solve, the mystery, while in
Siberian and Alaskan waters. The whaling

and New Bedford, Mass, feet fourteen
